Description
I had no idea what to call this photographic offering, and Chip--in one of his Laurie Anderson moods--suggested the title "Bright Red." The name stuck.
I took this underneath the Western Avenue El stop on the Brown Line in Chicago's Ravenswood neighborhood, as I was on my way to visit my friend Sukie. (You may see pictures of him later.)
This photo was taken on August 24th, 2007.

I know this place! I've always liked walking under those tracks. It's so Chicago in that...well...that under-the-tracks sort of way. The red of the car really jumps out and plays well with the yellow on the other side of the picture. I love asymmetry like this...where one half of an image doesn't really "go with" the other half. The Jays potato chip truck centering the whole thing ties it all together. Fantastic dappled light and puddles too. Great work.

Such an interesting shot for a city-phobic like me! A great composition.

Oh, I like this a lot--the red just jumps out at you, all shiny and bright, and yet there's still that city grittiness--great shot!!

This works for me. I like the perspective, splashs of color and the "cityness" in the details.

As an ex Chicagoite, I look forward to each new pic you show us. You really capture the character & mood of the city. I can almost smell the gas fumes!

man, another fine chicago shot. A little dark, with that inevitable rain water dappling the concrete, I agree with chip about the jay's truck—great placement (well you didn't actually go and place it there, I know, but I mean the composition you chose is perfect)—the dark cloudy hues of red walls on a gray day, and the big garish bold red car sitting there all new & shining, unconcerned w/ the varying degrees of age all around it. There's so much about this I like, I can't put it in words. And that typical under the el "coridor" you get, as the tracks lead you, shaded and grayed, to some strange destination in the distance. Yep, another fav. Love it.
